1.	Carbon has large number of allotropes of which crystalline forms are diamond, graphite and fullerenes. Amorphous forms are coal, coke wood charcoal animal charcoal, lamp black, gas carbon, petroleum coke, sugar charcoal (Atomic radius of C = 0.77A^(@)) The inter layer distance in graphite is
Answer» Very small, the layers being tightly packed Ten times GREATER than the covalent radius of carbon APPROXIMATELY 4.5 times the covalent radius of carbon The same as the covalent radius of carbon SOLUTION :C - CB. L is `to1.42A^(@)` layer distance `to3.35A^(@)` Approximately `4(1)/(2)` times the covalent radius of carbon
